The Easiest Protein Pancakes

Ok, let’s start by saying the goal here is protein. These won’t turn out super fluffy like the pancakes from the IHop, but you know; we’re trying the whole health thing. 🙂 I mean think about it, you’re eating one banana, one egg, about 20 grams of plant based protein, and cinnamon. Maple syrup is a natural sweetener, or top with fruit and nut butter! The taste will largely depend on the protein brand you use, so pick a good one!

I actually like to bring these as a snack and eat them cold. And if you make them don’t forget to tag us on Instagram or DM us a pic! We love seeing recreations of our recipes. 🙂

Ingredients

1 banana

1 egg (or flax egg for vegan version)

1 1/2 scoops of vanilla plant based protein protein

1-2 teaspoons of cinnamon

Instructions

Add the banana to a blender and blend on low until broken down (not completely smooth).

Add the egg/flax eggs, protein powder, and cinnamon and blend on low until smooth.

Heat a frying pan over medium-low.

Spray the pan with olive oil or coconut oil spray, and then add 1/4 cup of the batter.

When the pancake starts to bubble (about 30 seconds) flip over.

Repeat with the rest of the batter.

Top with pure maple syrup if desired.

Notes

Just note these will NOT taste like regular fluffy pancakes. They are meant for a super healthy, protein pancake alternative. Also flavor will depend on the protein brand you use!

I tried this dish and true to what you said, no guilt was felt after eating 3 pieces of this for breakfast. well actually, I am saying to myself that i can probably eat this one the whole day, as pancakes are really flexible with taste (just add berries for toppings or change the drizzle from maple to honey) and then you have something to look forward to everyday!
Thanks for sharing this. totally a protein source that comes in handy,

Hi Ari, it could be the type of protein you used! Or if the banana wasn’t ripe enough/big enough. I’ll make these again and try and get the banana measurementsa bit more exact for you. Thanks for the feedback!
